 Option 3 is the right answer as it has an error.

Words joined to a singular subject by-- 'with, together with, in addition to, or, as well as', etc. are parenthetical. .

Therefore the verb, which follows, should complement the first subject. 

In the given sentence the subject is 'the Chief'.

'With all his men' is the parenthetical phrase joined to the subject by 'with'

The verb should complement the singular subject (the Chief). So, we should use 'was' and not 'were'.

The correct sentence is--The Chief, with all his men, was massacred.
